Nice Pom Pom! Have you ever tried to raise the young?

[19jeffro83]

iPhone 4

[animalmaster6]

Nice that actually takes really good pics.

[19jeffro83]

 

Never tried to raise them. It seems like a lot of work and I'm focused on other things rite now. I'm still working on this setup and expecting a little one very soon.

[animalmaster6]

Congrats!!!

[19jeffro83]

 

Thanks! I def love the hobby started with a biocube 14 six months ago and couldn't help myself from going bigger. I've read alot on your 125 build and that's kina what I'm doing with my tank as well. I forgot to list some of my inverts. But there def awsome and I'm basing my fish on them.

[animalmaster6]

Yes my 125g thread is quite the thread.

 

I'll make a new thread when I add water. I bet that thread is extremely helpful to beginners. SO many topics where covered an discussed. It'll become a Thread of Knoweledge and I'll try to find excellent conversations.

[19jeffro83]

This site was a huge help. I've been reading and exploring threads for months. I started about last October reading up in preparation of starting a tank up.

 

So when do you think it'll be up?

[animalmaster6]

Yes this site turned this hobby into an obssesion... An awesome Obsession

 

Probably around August.

[19jeffro83]

So animalmaster guess I can't enter your 40 gal or less contest )-;

It's cool. Next week I have a chance to get a Dracula goby for a great price. Thinking I might do it. Has anyone here had experience whit them? Are they a friendly goby? Will it cause any trouble for inverts? Thanks.

[animalmaster6]

They are a very peaceful goby just expensive haha. They are very similar to the Hi Fin Red Banded Goby.

[19jeffro83]

I'm getting it at a great price. I think I'm def grabbing it up. It's been in the store for over a month now. So the owner said he'd give me a good price. What do they usually go for?

[animalmaster6]

Around $130

[19jeffro83]

That's a lot!! I can get this one for half that.

[animalmaster6]

Wow! That's great!

 

I'm not sure if it's the norm at all though. That's LA's price so I'm pretty sure it's the norm.

[19jeffro83]

Are you basing the price off live aquaria?

[animalmaster6]

Yeh I've seen that price elsewhere as well.
